Officially, our national celebration of ridesharing is only one week long, from October 2 to 6.

OCTA, however, believes the concept of leaving your car at home and taking alternative transportation is so important that it deserves its own month. During the whole month of October, those who pledge to take alternate transportation will be entered to win an iPad and other prizes.

It’s a great time to change up your commute, save money, and help the environment. Look here for ridesharing recommendations, including OC Bus, OC Metrolink, OC Vanpool, and OC Bike, and pledge to ride.
